Disclaimer: Sigh, Still not my characters.
Max was the first to wake up, he had his arms around Maria, with her head tucked under his chin, it felt right, yet it also felt different. He didn't regret anything that happened between them last night, but how will Maria feel, now? Max lowered his lips to her hair and kissed her, she smelt like strawberries, he loved strawberries, he loved Maria, he didn't know when it happened, or how it happened, but love was there all around them and inside of them.
Maria stirred and tightened her grip on Max, she looked up at him, smiled and whispered "hey." Max looked into Maria's eyes and he knew then they were going to be okay, in her eyes he saw her trust, he saw love.
Maria noticed him staring at her, "Max is everything alright, are you alright?" "Maria, lets just say I'm better than alright." Maria blushed slightly, then said brightly, "right so what's on for today?"
They both dressed, although it took a while as they both couldn't stop touching or kissing every so often, in the end Maria made Max stay over one side, if that was at all possible seeing the tent was so small to start off with, but in the end they were ready for the outside world. They left the tent, and went to the bathrooms that had been set up for the festival, afterwards they sat and ate toast from one of the stands, neither one saying much, they didn't need to.
They heard the bands starting up on the stage and went to see who was playing, Max went to get a couple of sodas, Pink was singing 'There you go', Maria was singing along to the words when she felt a hand on her shoulder, thinking that it was Max, she turned around smiling, her smile then turned to a frown, "what are you doing here Michael?"
Max was on his way back when he noticed Michael, he wanted to warn Maria but he was too late, Michael had reached her first. Maria noticed Max over Michaels shoulder, he turned to see what she was looking at. "Well hello Max, enjoying yourself are you?" Max looked at Maria who had her head down looking at the ground. "Actually, Maria and I are both enjoying the FESTIVAL, I didn't know you had a ticket else I would have asked if you wanted to come with us." Michael frowned at that, "I didn't have a ticket but I hitched a ride with someone and they never checked at the gate."
Maria looked at Michael then, and asked, "so how come you decided to come here, I didn't think this was your kind of thing." "It's not, but I was looking for Max here and when I couldn't find him I asked Alex, he told me he had given Max tickets for the festival, and hey presto here I am." Maria looked at Max and smiled, "soooo... that's where you got them from huh." Max laughed, Michael frowned at him, he'd never seen Max laugh so easily, something wasn't right, he also didn't like the way Maria and Max were looking at each other, there seemed to be something different about them, something he couldn't quite put his finger on.
Another band came on but it was different now that Michael was here with them, Maria and Max felt uneasy, both not sure what to do with these new feelings they had for each other. Maria was the first to speak up, "listen guys they are almost finished here why don't we leave now so we can beat the traffic back to Roswell?" Max looked a little hurt that Maria would want to end the weekend early, but he understood why she was doing it, "sure Maria, is that okay with you Michael, I assume you will be coming back with us, or are you planning to hitch back again?" "Of course I'm coming with you guys, so lets get going." They all walked back to the tent, Michael narrowed his eyes at the tent, "wait, you both slept in that small thing, alone?" Maria was the first to answer, "yes we did, any way it's bigger than it looks, there's plenty of room for two to sleep, it was cosy." Maria looked at Max who by this time was blushing a deep red. Michael didn't like this one bit, for some reason they both looked guilty, then he remembered when he saw then leave the Crashdown yesterday they were holding hands, god he hoped that this was just their way of being friendly, he didn't think he could handle it if it was more.
They made it back to Roswell two hours later, not much was said by anyone all the way, Maria sat in the back behind Max and every so often he would look at her and give her a reassuring smile or wink and each time he did she wanted to kiss him, but then she would glance at Michael and feel guilty all over again, she hoped she and Max could work through this, whatever this was, before too long. She knew in the end someone was going to be hurt, and in her heart she knew it would be her.
Michael insisted Maria should be dropped off first, Max got out of the car and got Maria's holdall from the back and walked her to the door, as he handed her bag to her he leaned in for a kiss, but Maria stepped back with a sad look in her eyes, she indicated with her head that Michael was looking. Max nodded, "I'll call you later." "Max, you don't have to." "Maria, I WILL call later." Maria smiled and turned to go in, just as she was about to close the door she said, "love you." Max had a huge grin on his face when he got back in the car.
"So Max, what the hell were you doing holding hands with my Maria, and what the hell did happen last night in that tent......?"
End
Sequel to come soon.
